Saturday - It all started in 1962


May the fun continue...


Kanuga 1962: Cabin 19...2008: Cabin 19

Well, we made it to Hendersonville, NC down the inviting driveway to Kanuga...basically this is like the camp from the movie "Dirty Dancing." Families stay in cabins & there is also a 3 story Inn. Honey & Papa met at Kanuga in 1962 and well, we know the rest of that story! I found out on this trip that Papa worked at Kanuga for about 5 summers after they met. We stayed in the Inn & are hoping for a cabin next summer - they are extremely hard to come by b/c everyone wants one! There are NO PHONES, TV, AC or CLOCKS in the rooms/cabins. You leave the windows open and the fan going all day to keep the room cool.

Kanuga Daily Routine...
8am - Breakfast (loud speaker plays song over campus to let you know it's time to eat each meal - everyone eats together at tables of 8 - we were paired with Mike & Scott & loved them!)
8:45 - 12 MJ to Clubhouse (nursery)
9-12 LG to Kid's Camp
9:45 -12 Watercolor Class & Wine Glass Painting (also had wood carving & basket weaving)
pick up girls
12:30 Lunch
2-5 LG back to Kid's Camp
6:30 Supper
8:00 Nightly Entertainment
Having every meal prepared & served to you & not having to clean ANYTHING up was wonderful! Our week basically consisted of a lot of sitting on porches, rocking, reading, playing, napping, eating, swimming, walking, painting, guitar playing by Papa, singing by Papa & LG, dancing by LG & MJ... did I mention napping & eating? Glorious...

That sounds like so much fun - what a great time for your family to be together without all of the distractions some vacations can bring. I have to say... I would have loved to see a Wilson reenactment of the "I've had the time of my life" dance....
